Chapter 670: Mutation
Thousand-Handed Phantom Sword Slash!
Heaven-Shaking Silver Thunder Dragon!
Soul-Chasing Death Dart!
Three Order Skills striking simultaneously!
It’s no wonder the students hastily yet confidently concluded the outcome!!
No matter who’s watching, they would think this non-specialist was doomed to die!
Forget everything else.
Simply judging by the non-specialist’s status…
It’s clear he absolutely doesn’t possess the passive skill ‘Order Infusion.’
That’s because only those who’ve completed a job transition and reached fourth-tier at level 100 can awaken this passive skill.
Since this Ling Zhan hasn’t transitioned, he naturally lacks this advantage!
What could he possibly use to fight these three opponents?
He could only watch as the three deadly Order Skills annihilated him!
Just as everyone expected.
The non-specialist still had his hands in his pockets, his face calm as ever.
It was as the magical thunder dragon opened its jaws to swallow him whole, the countless black sword auras closed in to shred him apart, and the shadow dart aimed straight for his heart…
The three attacks collided, creating an earth-shattering explosion!!
The clash of three SS-tier skills!
The terrifying shockwaves even made the arena tremble slightly!
The energy barrier rippled continuously under the force of the impact!
The power of Order was truly overwhelming.
Even when wielded by three recently ascended level-100 students, their combined SS-tier skills packed a formidable punch!
“As expected… he must be dead.”
“Take out the ‘must be.’ If any of us were at the center of that collision, we’d be dead too.”
“He tried to act tough. Now he’s dead for it, even keeping his hands in his pockets at the end…”
The crowd stared at the smoke-filled center of the arena. Though the devastation within was obscured, one thing was certain:
The non-specialist named Ling Zhan was definitely dead!
Now, it was just a matter of determining which of Derina, Reina, or Aimesha had landed the final blow.
Whoever delivered the killing blow would pass the advancement assessment.
Derina, Reina, and Aimesha stood excitedly, looking up at the referee, eagerly awaiting the verdict.
Meanwhile, Sacred Academy’s Headmistress Bai Yuechan frowned, gazing at the smoke-covered arena.
Her intuition told her something was off.
But she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what felt wrong. Get full chapters from novel(ꜰ)ire.net
She had heard of Ling Zhan before.
Her old friend General Li had mentioned this interesting prodigy who would soon enter the Holy Continent and likely enroll at Sacred Academy.
At the time, Bai Yuechan thought anyone significant enough for General Li to highlight must be extraordinary and talented.
Upon learning he was a non-specialist, her enthusiasm waned.
Sure, his status was unique, but it gave her the impression of being useless!
Everything seemed to confirm that this non-specialist was indeed all show and no substance.
Under the siege of three opponents, it seemed he had been utterly obliterated.
Yet Bai Yuechan couldn’t shake her unease.
Everything appeared to be proceeding normally, but she still felt something was amiss!
Sometimes, a woman’s intuition is terrifyingly accurate!
Just as the referee prepared to enter the arena and verify Ling Zhan’s death…
A harrowing scream pierced the air!
Everyone turned to look…
It was Derina, suddenly dropping to his knees, clutching his neck and wailing in agony!
Reina and Aimesha turned to question him…
Two more agonized shrieks erupted from the two women!
Like Derina, they clutched their necks, fell to their knees, and howled in torment!
The sudden turn of events sent the audience into an uproar!
Even the referee instinctively stepped back, staring warily at the three afflicted students.
“What happened? Why did Derina and the others suddenly collapse in agony?”
“Damn! How would I know?”
“Who could be responsible for this?”
“Could it be Ling Zhan? But didn’t he die in the Order explosion? Could he have survived!?”
The crowd descended into chaos!
This bizarre turn of events was too shocking!
“Look closely! Their necks! Ugh!”
“Holy crap! Their heads are severed! My god!”
Someone shouted in shock.
Following their gaze, the crowd saw that the trio’s necks had black, grotesque worms chewing through them!
The worms gnawed through their necks, causing their heads to roll off like balls!
Their screams abruptly stopped!
A collective gasp of horror swept through the academy!
Everyone stared at the grotesque and horrifying scene!
Their gazes shifted to the three hideous black worms responsible!
“What are those things? They’re biting through their necks like it’s nothing!”
“My god! Someone identify those worms! They’re rated SS-tier!”
“Holy crap! SS-tier venomous insects! Unheard of! Who could have raised them!?”
The three worms, having finished their gruesome task, rolled onto the ground, their sharp fangs glinting menacingly in the light.
Even the guards instinctively tensed, wondering if a fourth-tier insect master had secretly infiltrated.
As everyone speculated in confusion…
A crisp footstep echoed.
The smoke from the Order skill explosion finally began to clear.
A tall, lean figure with hands still in his pockets emerged from the haze, expressionless.
It was none other than the non-specialist everyone had presumed dead!
